How about the rest of you?

Great post Jason.
I do all those but the George Brett autographs. I also:
Have an insane Wade Boggs collection that I have easily 200+ cards that I have 10 or more copies of. Some special edition stuff I would even track down the manufacturer and buy out their left over stock.
I super collect 2 modern shiny cards that are #ed to 88 and 188. I buy everyone I find and they are not ever going to be worth 1/2 of what i pay for them.
I am putting together a master set of 55 Bowmans. My goal is to acquire every card from fellow Net54 members. I am 5 away from that goal and have no intention of keeping the set. The best part of this for me was all the great people I have had transactions with, thanks everyone.
I collect T210 cards only because the Ft Worth players have FTW(F*ck The Warden, my interpretation) on their uniform.
I will trade almost anything for cards and will take most anything in trade for cards including guns, cars, and booze.
This list could go on and on, my name is Ben and I really do have a problem.
